Summer School Notes
Dear St. Peter Family,

This week I received a document that was developed in partnership with the IL State Board of Education, and the Illinois Department of Health regarding the transition to the opening of schools in Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Plan set by our Governor. It outlines that appropriate social distancing, face coverings, enhanced sanitation measures and other accommodations are necessary to ensure the safety of students, staff and their families. We have just entered Phase 4 and the Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines state:

  • Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including face coverings are required;
  • Gatherings of more than 50 people in one gathering space are prohibited;
  • Social distancing requirements are to be observed as much as possible;
  • Schools are required to conduct symptom screenings and temperature checks or require that individuals self-certify that they are free of symptoms before entering the school buildings;
  • Enhanced school wide cleaning and disinfection is necessary

All public and nonpublic schools in Illinois are required to follow these guidelines and they are subject to change based on updated public health guidance and changing public health conditions.

It looks like there will be no more “snow days”.  Within the next month you will receive, our plan for possible remote learning days. It will be similar to the plan we adopted this past spring for at home instruction. If we are unable to be in attendance in our building due to a resurgence of the virus or a second wave of it, our remote learning plan will go into effect. Remote learning will be similar to what we did this past spring. Daily attendance and engagement of students will be expected whether students are in class in-person or remotely. It is important for teachers and students to maintain their daily contact so that education can be enhanced.  

Our custodial staff is busy preparing for our August 17 opening of school. We are blessed to have a building that lends itself well to our new state requirements so that in-person learning can occur. We are anxiously preparing and are equally anxious to welcome you back as we look forward to being together once again.
We will be ready to deliver a fulfilling and engaging St. Peter educational experience this fall. August 17 will be our first day of school. We will continue to communicate with you every other week to ensure everyone is well informed and has a clear vision of protocols, expectations and opportunities available as we return for the 2020/2021 school year.

God’s continued blessings to you and your family,

Steve Zielke
School Principal

The Wildcat Summer Sports Challenge was created to incentivize and encourage our students to keep moving over the summer months and to improve on their skills for the future sport seasons at St. Peter. 

HOW IT WORKS
Each student will receive a monthly activity tracking sheet. You can find this tracking sheet online at the St. Peter Website . The student will record their activity on to the sheet and turn it in to Mr. Wilcox at the end of each month via text or email. At the end of the summer, Mr. Wilcox will add up your totals and give you your prize. Registration is not necessary but helpful. If you register we will make sure to notify you when videos and schedules are posted. Otherwise, check the website at stpeterlcms.org/sportschallenge or our school Facebook page .

The family of Doug Flett asked i n lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Kirsch/Flett Scholarship Fund . The Motl family, alums of St. Peter, have challenged our St. Peter family for a donation match. They will match up to $20,000 in honor of Doug Flett's name. Currently, we are at $17,417.30. Can you help us make this a reality? What a blessing to have this opportunity to honor Doug this way. Let's help more children attend St. Peter! No donation is too small.
